What are some sequels you've been meaning to read for ages? I read The Darkest Minds such a long time ago and loved it! But Never Fade has been sitting on my shelves for years, despite such a teasing cliff hanger in book one. It's one of those books I keep forgetting I have. * * I've also yet to continue the Miss Peregrine's series - in this case, I don't feel a huge need for the story to be a series, even though there's clearly more to tell. So I never find the motivation to pick up Hollow City 😅 * * #books #bookworm #bookdragon #booknerd #amreading #bookstagram #bookphotography #currentlyreading #bookrecommendations #instabook #bookflatlay #prettybooks #booksarelife #booksofinsta #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #neverfade #hollowcity

Book haaaul! Jayden convinced me to buy (it didn't take very much) Morning Star finally. I've been subconsciously putting off getting to the 3rd Red Rising book because the cliff hanger at the end of Golden Son SHOOK me. But I think I'm finally ready to go through the stress and excitement of reading the third instalment 😱 * * What was your latest bookish purchase? * * #books #bookworm #bookdragon #booknerd #amreading #bookstagram #bookphotography #currentlyreading #bookrecommendations #instabook #bookflatlay #prettybooks #booksarelife #booksofinsta #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #goldenson #morningstar #redrising

A very Happy Birthday to my number one man today! 🎂 Let there be cake, spontaneous sombreros and endless food! 😘 Can't wait for more adventures together! * * What is your favourite birthday present you've ever been given? I always love being given books but my favourite was when my parents wrapped an entire box filled with books for me 😍 there's nothing like receiving books that have been on your wish list for ages - both Empress of All Seasons and Seeker were like that for me. I can't wait to actually read them some day 😂 * * #books #bookworm #bookdragon #booknerd #amreading #bookstagram #bookphotography #currentlyreading #bookrecommendations #instabook #bookflatlay #prettybooks #booksarelife #booksofinsta #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #happybirthday #empressofallseasons #seeker

There is simply not enough YA alternate historical fiction in the world for my liking. Also not enough memoirs made into movies. Books like Front Lines have such an exciting premise, or Wolf by Wolf which is AmAZiNg. I love history. I need more of it. It's so hard to discover the new releases in this genre if it isn't widely publicised however, and that drives me mad! * * I recently watched a WWII book to film adaptation which was The Keeper. It was absolutely brilliant and I can't recommend it enough. Unbroken is super high on my list to read because of how much I loved stories such as The Railway Man, Bridge of the River Kwai and The Narrow Road to the Deep North. * * Fun fact, I studied modern history at university 🤓. So, tell me, what's a genre you want more of in the YA World? * * #books #bookworm #bookdragon #booknerd #amreading #bookstagram #bookphotography #currentlyreading #bookrecommendations #instabook #bookflatlay #prettybooks #booksarelife #booksofinsta #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #frontlines #unbroken

What's your next holiday you've got planned? Mine is Bali 🌏 maybe I'll have enough chill out time when I go to read books like Ruined that have been lurking on my TBR for yonks 😅 * * QOTD: what are you currently reading? * * #books #bookworm #bookdragon #booknerd #amreading #bookstagram #bookphotography #currentlyreading #bookrecommendations #instabook #bookflatlay #prettybooks #booksarelife #booksofinsta #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #ruined

What books have disappointed you this year? I've had a few average reads so far. The first two weren't super awful, I'd just expected more, but the third was a stinker. ⭐Four Dead Queens was very exciting but the ending really made it fizzle out. ⭐The Priory of the Orange Tree was a long, interesting read whose ending didn't really make it worth it. ⭐And my first Kaufman & Spooner book, Unearthed, was my most disappointing read of the year letting me down from the high expectations I had of it. * * But that doesn't mean I won't still give These Broken Stars a go! I'm just nervous it'll be meh 😅 * * #books #bookworm #bookdragon #booknerd #amreading #bookstagram #bookphotography #currentlyreading #bookrecommendations #instabook #bookflatlay #prettybooks #booksarelife #booksofinsta #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #currentlyreading #fourdeadqueens #thesebrokenstars

I completely forgot that I bought this and got very excited when I discovered it on my shelf the other day. I must remember to read it! I've actually heard quite the number of good things about it, becuase duh: Pirate King = good times. * * I completely forgot to bring a book with me to work today. It was a very sad train ride in. But also, I don't know what to read next! And I feel so powerful with all my books at my finger tips, making the godly decision of which tome shall be plucked for reading next. What do YOU think I should read? * * #books #bookworm #bookdragon #booknerd #amreading #bookstagram #bookphotography #currentlyreading #bookrecommendations #instabook #bookflatlay #prettybooks #booksarelife #booksofinsta #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #daughterofthepirateking

What's a book you unexpectedly loved this year? For me, it was Toffee. This book taught me that poetry isn't always boring 😶😅 * * #books #bookworm #bookdragon #booknerd #amreading #bookstagram #bookphotography #currentlyreading #bookrecommendations #instabook #bookflatlay #prettybooks #booksarelife #booksofinsta #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #toffee

Recently I finished reading Unearthed and.. Um... I rated it 2 stars 😶 who else has read this?? I was so disappointed. Kaufman and Spooner are such hyped authors but unfortunately this just wasn't for me. I WILL try other books by them, but probably not in any hurry 😬 I won't be continuing this series. * * What I didn't like: ✨ It was super slow paced. ✨ Insta love/too much focus on the relationship for an action/scifi ✨ Plot was predictable and unexciting * * #books #bookworm #bookdragon #booknerd #amreading #bookstagram #bookphotography #currentlyreading #bookrecommendations #instabook #bookflatlay #prettybooks #booksarelife #booksofinsta #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #unearthed

Here's a Maria V Synder appreciation post because she is QUEEN and I'm very much so enjoying her books at the moment. Have you read any of her books? * * #books #bookworm #bookdragon #booknerd #amreading #bookstagram #bookphotography #currentlyreading #bookrecommendations #instabook #bookflatlay #prettybooks #booksarelife #booksofinsta #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #mariavsnyder
